| 1. Bathed in the introspective glow of May 2024, San Francisco's own unveils his latest aural tapestry, "Knife Is But A Dream." Composed and recorded entirely within the confines of his home, the album whispers of quiet companionship as he shepherds a beloved feline through a time of delicate health. This collection delves deeper into the realms of ambient noise and collage, territories previously hinted at in his earlier works. The songs, themselves, retain a skeletal elegance, a stark contrast to the swirling chaos that surrounds them. The final product evokes the image of a charcoal sketch, rendered with swift strokes and unwavering confidence, a fleeting moment of beauty captured for all time |
| 2. The lyrical threads weave a poignant narrative, a tapestry woven from recent trials in Ramos’s life. Here, we find him grappling with the mortality of his feline companion. Also present is the sting of detachment, a poignant reminder of a human friendship that has lost its former closeness. Amidst the shadows, a glimmer of optimism shines through, finding solace in the newfound freedom that comes with a life less tethered to old patterns, and a blossoming romance that brings with it a renewed capacity for joy |
